Support Groups

Recognizing that community is one of the factors necessary for successful recovery, the HHCI provides a meeting space for a variety of 12-step and support groups. Support group experiences allow people affected by mental health difficulties and disorders to connect in a safe and supportive environment. Support groups are led by trained facilitators and community professionals, and teach coping skills, help reduce anxiety, build resiliency and provide a place for people to share common concerns and receive emotional support.
